OBJECTIVES
The analyst needs certain requirements
while designing and assembling. Its following
us.
REQUIREMENTS
Displacement at certain points
Stress distribution
Natural frequencies
Critical bulking loads
Vibration
Pressure, velocity and temperature distribution
Crack growth, residual strength and fatigue life.
METHODS OF ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
EXPERIMENTAL METHODS
ANALYTICAL METHODS
NUMERICAL METHODS
NUMERICAL METHODS
Functional approximation
Finite difference method(FDM)
Finite element method or analysis(FEM or
FEA)
USES OF FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
It is used to solve the physical problems
involving complicated geometrics, loading and
material properties which cannot be solved in
analytical method.
This method is extensively used in the field of
structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, heat
transfer, mass transfer, electric and magnetic
problems,
Classification of finite element problems
Structural problems
Non-structural problems
